Chapter 205: Did You See That!?
’She’s too caring. Maybe she isn’t meant for the frontline. She would be more comfortable as a medic.’
Jason came to this conclusion while watching Riyala. He could tell that she was capable since she had been trained by teachers, but that didn’t mean she was fit for battle. She cared too much about magic beasts to ever try to harm them directly. Jason sent a mental command to the adamantine ants and iron-bladed falcons that had been helping him and Ragnar, and he told them to go and join Riyala so they could finish off the hunters faster, and they all took off immediately. There were more than a hundred of them combined, so when they joined the battle, their numbers became far too much for the other iron-bladed falcons to handle.
The hunters began running away, but Jason commanded his subordinates to chase them down and make sure no one escaped! He wanted them all! The subordinates dashed after the fleeing hunters, and Jason told the weaker subordinates who had been gathering the corpses to bring them over so he could resurrect them. Jason also ordered Riyala not to chase after the retreating falcons and to bring Riyala back to him, and Raya turned around and began to carry the princess over.
As they got closer, Jason gained a small smile when he saw Riyala waving at him from a distance. Riyala’s hair and cloak were stained with blood, and there was soot on her face from all the fire that she had been throwing about, but Jason could tell that she was happy that she was able to help out! Raya landed and came close enough to rub her head on Jason’s face, and Jason patted her calmly before pushing her back with a laugh when she almost threw him to the ground in her excitement.
"Jason, did you see that!? It was amazing!"
Riyala shouted from on top of Raya, and Jason smiled as she swung her legs over and jumped down to meet him! She ran up to him and jumped happily while describing the battle!
"There were so many enemies, and everyone was moving so fast! But Raya handled it so easily! She tore through them and chased down anyone that came close, and I sent fire at them like woosh! My flames have never been this hot before, so I’m sure it’s because of the artefact that it got so powerful! And then I—!!"
"Alright, alright. I’m glad you had so much fun."
Jason couldn’t help but chuckle in amusement while putting his hand on Riyala’s shoulder! She was so excited that she was starting to bounce around like some sort of pinball! Riyala blushed when she realized that she had been talking too much, and her blush increased even more as Jason put his hand on her head before speaking in amusement.
"Thanks for helping out, but I need to finish off some upgrades, so can you wait over there with Ragnar?"
Jason motioned towards Ragnar with a tilt of his head, and Riyala bowed her head shyly and nodded. Jason’s hand on Riyala’s head felt so good that Riyala didn’t try to move even after agreeing. Jason raised a brow at her and called her name while pulling back, and Riyala finally seemed to get herself back as she quickly headed off to the side. Jason hummed as he watched her run up to Ragnar and jump up to grab him around the neck with an excited laugh. Ragnar released a huff of hot air in her face, and Riyala just laughed as she continued to wrestle with him!
Jason turned away after a few seconds and changed his view to watch what was going on with the Legion members who had chased the retreating falcons. Jason had been getting more kill notifications all this while, and at this point, he was sure that there weren’t even up to five of the falcons left. The Legion had chased them down to the ocean below the floating nest, and they were sniping them down one by one.
One of the falcons soared over the large body of water and swerved to the side the moment one of the adamantine ants was about to get it, but before it could enjoy its narrow escape, another falcon that was part of Jason’s Legion swooped in and slashed it across the torso with its sharp wings! Blood flew across the air as the falcon released a loud cry and was finally caught by the Legion members chasing it.

Endless Rope
Rank: S
Durability: 100%
Boosts: Nil
Description: As the name suggests, this artefact is a bundle of thick rope that is capable of extending to an infinite length. It was created by an adventurer known as Frodo and gifted to Richard Marc as a thank you for saving his life. Other than its unique ability to constantly extend regardless of the length required, the rope possesses no other distinguishing properties. But it is durable enough that only those in S Rank and above will be capable of easily damaging it.

Jason raised a brow at that description. This was the first time he would be getting an artefact that didn’t provide any boosts to any of his stats, but it was still a very useful item. Being able to extend to any length wasn’t something to scoff at, and Jason knew that he would definitely be needing something like it in the future.
The artefact appeared in Jason’s hand as a bundle of black rope that pulsed with power and Jason hummed as it looked it over. You wouldn’t be able to tell that it was endless by just looking at it, but Jason knew that the system wouldn’t give false advertising for any artefact. Jason threw it into his Alternate Dimension to store it until later and then turned back to focus on the falcon corpses that his Legion had been gathering.
Their corpses had really piled up, and Jason patted the subordinates close to him when they finally finished gathering all of them together. Jason had already resurrected all twenty-eight warriors that he killed, so that meant he only had to resurrect the hunters that were killed by Riyala as well as the large boss that Ragnar defeated. Jason also resurrected five hunters during his first battle, so he predicted that there would be about sixty hunters left.
The Adamantine Ants that had been gathering the magic crystals from the falcons came forward and placed them in front of Jason. There were just under a hundred of them, and Jason looked them over to make sure that there were no flaws. The largest crystal was from the Falcon Boss, but the other crystals would be classified as medium sized and would go for more than a hundred thousand on the market! Jason put the crystals into his Alternate Dimension for later and spread his mana out towards the monster corpses. Riyala turned around curiously from her place on top of Ragnar’s back when she felt the sudden surge in mana, and she watched as Jason spoke authoritatively.
"Resurrect."
Doon!
Riyala felt her body shiver as a surge of power pulsed across the air!
